A mid-priced canoe ideal for first-time buyers but good enough for experienced paddlers too. Very maneuverable yet with surprising tracking and speed. Useful aywhere, but especially good on twisting, turbulent streams.
Hull Features
- A moderately blunt bow point to sustain frontal impacts.
- Slight outward flare of the gunwales near the bow to deflect spray in the area where water is most prone to enter.
- Slight tumblehome from the area of the bow paddler rearward to allow room to use the paddles comfortably.
- Standard trim is of the highest aircraft grade, marine-anodized aluminum; 6061-T6.
- Moderately high sides to achieve good carrying capacity without excess sidewind resistance.
- Hull widens quickly from the bow back giving good stability and capacity, but the hull is shaped to part water smoothly not violently.
- A straight (horizontal) keel line aids tracking and minimizes the effort expended to keep the canoe on a straight course.
- The moderate stern curve and straight stern line are designed to aid tracking and efficient streamlining.
- The moderately shallow-arched hull gives sufficient final stability while providing good initial stability.
